Insurance Information
Depending on your insurance plan, you may be able to obtain full or partial reimbursement for therapy as “out of network providers”. However, this is not guaranteed and is up to your insurance provider based on coverage. I can provide you with a clinical invoice that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
Some important questions to ask your insurance provider to inquire about coverage
What is my mental health coverage like?
How much does my insurance pay for “out of network providers”?
What does my insurance cover per therapy session?
Through my plan, do I have a limited number of therapy sessions?
Do I need approval from my primary care physician in order to go to therapy?
Please Note:
While health insurances will often reimburse for the treatment of certain diagnoses, they sometimes will only cover a certain amount of sessions.
